Week eight- Classroom technologies and ethical issues.

Roblyer & Doering (2014) has found that issues surrounding classroom technology use are abundant. These issues are around general ethics of technology use that students may or may not be aware of, including piracy, copyright, safety and plagiarism. (Roblyer & Doering, 2014).

Students are not the only ones at fault for copyright and plagiarism, teachers (including myself as a pre-service teacher) often access online learning activities for the classroom. It is important for us to acknowledge the original developers of said activities. Schools are governed by ethical and legal responsibilities and these need to be addressed to ensure that students and staff alike are doing the right thing.
